SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Netronome, a leading provider of high-performance intelligent networking
solutions, today announced its inaugural P4/C
developer’s conference for networking data path experts designing or
conducting research on host-based networking applications. P4, a
high-level data path programming language defined by the P4
Consortium, is a promising technology that can be augmented with
C-based applications to enable hardware-accelerated and host-based
networking data path functions such as virtualization, security, traffic
management, and telemetry applications.

At the conference, commercial and academic developers will learn about
the Netronome® Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that includes
the open-source P4 compiler and its C compiler. The IDE can be used to
develop new networking data path applications that can be programmed
into a high-performance intelligent server adapter. Developers will be
taught how to use the IDE as well as learn to write P4-only, P4 and C,
and C-only data path applications through five hands-on labs.

Host-based networking adoption has evolved rapidly, thanks to the
adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions
virtualization (NFV). It improves the efficiency of data centers and
enables rapid innovation and fast feature roll-outs. P4/C-based data
path programming in hardware—such as Netronome’s intelligent server
adapters—can help not only maintain those benefits, but also increase
performance and efficiency. More than fifty experts from companies such
as AT&T and Ericsson, and universities such as MIT and USC, are
registered for the conference.

All proceedings from the conference will be made available on the new
community-driven Open-NFP.org web portal that will be introduced at the
conference. The site will also provide a foundation for continued work
by P4/C developers with tools, libraries, and hardware-related
information.

About Netronome

Netronome enables customers to increase the efficiency of their modern
data center infrastructure, ultimately allowing them to generate
significantly more services revenue per server. Host-based networking
has enabled rapid innovation and transformed the economics for data
center compute and networking. Such deployments however are facing
significant scaling and efficiency challenges with the rapid adoption of
10GbE and higher bandwidth network infrastructure. Netronome products
bring back the much needed scale and efficiency, without compromising
speed of innovation or flexibility needed in today’s cloud networks
running businesses of all sizes. Netronome is headquartered in Santa
